The New England Patriots have a risky plan for solving their problem at wide receiver.
The New England Patriots are finally getting serious about their problems at wide receiver, but there’s a catch.
It involves All-Pro Stefon Diggs, a longtime Patriots tormentor from his days with AFC East rivals the Buffalo Bills. Diggs is “in Foxboro to meet with the New England Patriots, according to a source,” per Chad Graff of The Athletic.
Graff correctly pointed out how “the Patriots badly need WR help and Diggs could provide that even if he may not be ready Week 1 as he recovers from an ACL tear.”
Signing arguably the best wideout left in 2025 NFL free agency might be worth the risk given Diggs’ pedigree. Yet, a pedestrian passing game and budding star quarterback Drake Maye also need more immediate help.
